问题     When I was 8-year-old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.
    My mom asked where I was going. "I’m leaving home," I said.
    "What’ s that you’ re carrying?" she asked.
    "Some clothes and food. " I replied.
    "If you want to run away, that’ s all right”, she said, "But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.
    I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again. "Wait a minute" Mom said, " You didn’ t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back. "
    This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all and shouted, "Can I go now?"
    "Yes," my mom answered, "but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back. "
    I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches. A pile of dried-up brown needles were beneath the tree, and you can’ t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.
    After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.
    "It’s Billy! Let me in!"
    The voice behind the door answered. " Billy doesn’ t live here anymore. He ran away from home. "
    Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, "Mom! I ’m sorry. I’ m still your son. Let me in!"
    The door opened and Mom’ s smiling face appeared. " Did you change your mind about running away?" she asked.
    "What’ s for supper?" I smiled back.
Which of the following can best describe the author’ s mom?

选项 A、Selfish and proud.
B、Strict but loving.
C、Kind and helpful.
D、Wise but impatient.

解析 推理判断题。让离家出走的儿子脱掉所有的衣服,显示母亲的苛刻,但母亲又让吃尽苦头要求回家的儿子进家门,由此可知,母亲对儿子又充满了爱。故选B项。
